Refresh rate of 50Hz ??

Tried both.. But that won't make a difference.. I tried all possible options but never get picture.

I know this won't be of much help, but if you google your tv set model, there are lots of posts on lots of forums.

One example is a guy who's dvd player gave a black screen when using hdmi.
He took the player and cable to the shop he bought it from and it worked fine.
They replaced the tv, but the dvd player still didn't work!

There may be a tv setting that now needs tweaking, but I couldn't find what it might be.

There are other reference to hdmi black screens, so it's not just your vu box, although it may be part of the problem.

Is the hdmi cable particularly long, because that can cause problems with power drops between boxes?

Hmm no no that long.
I have given up. I have placed my xtrend 10000 receiver instead. But i am using component rather than HDMI because i am scared this TV might damage the HDMI. I do want to ask though rather than making a new thread, is there anyway that the TV will switch to the AV by itself once i turn my box on from standby? My sky remote does not cycle through AV3 which is the component signal so keep having to use an app on my phone to switch it. Would be awesome that it switches itself once i turn the receiver on.

Thanks

It doesn't sound like the vu's hdmi socket has been damaged if it works ok on other tv's.

Maybe try a powered hdmi splitter between the tv and the vu, it might get it working again, and they're handy to have even if it doesn't.

I definitely think the TV has done something because prior to my solo 2 there was an edison os mini. A few months ago the hdmi stopped working for that receiver as well. Its so strange.. It booted up but never got picture again.. Now my solo 2 has been hit with that TV.. I'm not risking it again with my xtrend.. I want to buy another TV for the living room but my parents are happy with this one. Stupid Sony TV.. Its so old as well..

So "This is one of the strangest situations I have experienced." in #1 is a bit of an exaggeration
